種追加檢索內進行使用者希望之追加檢索。 【實施方式】 以下，藉由圖式說明本發明一種實施形態。 第1(A)圖係顯示本發明之電子字典裝置一種實施形態 的攜帶式機器（電子字典）1〇之電子電路構造的方塊圖。 該攜帶式機器（電子字典）10係構成爲備有以下所說明 之電子字典功能之PDA (個人數位助理，personal digital assistant)、PC (個人電腦，personal computer)、行動電話 及電子書籍，或是構成爲電子字典專用之攜帶式機器而。 該攜帶式機器（電子字典）10是由動作受到藉讀入記錄 於各種記憶媒體之程式或是被傳送的程式所控制之電腦所 構成，其電子電路中備有CPU (中央處理單元，central processing unit ) 11° CPU 1 1係因應預先記憶於記憶體 1 2內之裝置控制程 式，或是自ROM卡等外部記憶媒體13，經由記憶媒體讀取 部1 4而讀入上述記憶體1 2之裝置控制程式，或是自網際 網路上之Web伺服器（此時爲程式伺服器），經由通信部 15而讀入上述記憶體12之裝置控制程式而控制電路各部 之動作者，而記憶於上述記憶體1 2之裝置控制程式，因應 於來自含有鍵及觸摸式面板之輸入部16之使用者操作之 輸入信號，或是與經由通信部15而連接之網際網路上的各 Web伺服器之通信信號，或是與經由記憶媒體讀取部1 4而 外部連接之EEPR0M、RAM、ROM等之記憶卡（外部記憶 200805088 媒體1 3 )之連接通信信號而啓動。 上述CPU 1 1除了連接上述記憶體1 2、記憶媒體讀取部 14、通信部15及輸入部16之外，還連接由LCD所構成之 顯示部1 7等。 記憶體1 2中除記憶有管理該攜帶式機器（電子字典） 1 0之全體動作的系統程式，及經由通信部1 5而與網際網路 上之各Web伺服器進行資料通信用之通信程式之外，還記 憶有的字典控制程式12a，其用以自字典管理用之Web伺 φ 服器及記憶卡（記憶媒體）下載必要之字典資料、依據字 典資料記憶體（1 2 b )，檢索並顯示因應於檢索詞輸入之詞條 的譯文及解釋內容等之各種說明資訊、或是檢索並顯示其 檢索詞條之使用例句。 此外，該記憶體1 2中備有：字典資料記憶體1 2b、檢索 s司資料s2憶體1 2 c及工作區域1 2 d等。 字典資料記憶體1 2b中係預先或是經由下載而記憶數個 日文辭典、中日辭典、英日辭典、英英辭典、日英辭典等 φ 種類不同之許多字典資料庫，如英語系列之辭典係記憶 「LON* MAN現代美國英語辭典」、「GE* NIUS英日辭典」 等。 檢索詞資料記憶體1 2c中記憶以使用者輸入之單詞等作 爲檢索詞，隨字典資料記憶體1 2b之檢索處理而作爲檢索 對象之語言、語句。 工作區域12d中依需要記憶按照上述字典控制程式12a 等各種裝置控制程式，在CPU 1 1中輸入輸出之各種資料， 例如記憶有隨例句檢索處理而被檢索之數個例句。 200805088 如第1(B)圖所示，輸入部16之鍵盤面板上備有：任意 輸入平假名、片假名、漢字、英數字用之一連串文字輸入 鍵16A、指定檢索所使用之字典的字典選擇鍵i6B、選擇各 種功能用之功能鍵1 6C、用於移動游標之游標鍵1 6D、及以 記憶於字典資料記憶體1 2b之指定字典爲對象，用於檢索 與輸入檢索詞對應之詞條及其說明資訊的確定鍵1 6E等。 再者’本實施形態中，還備有進一步檢索鍵16F，作爲 一種上述功能鍵16C。 本實施形態係藉由設有該進一步檢索鍵1 6F，而在上述 構造之攜帶式機器（電子字典）10中，除了以往電子字典 裝置之功能外，還可藉由使用者易懂之操作而進行使用者 希望之追加檢索，亦即，可實施以下因應各種檢索狀態之 各種檢索。 亦即’在英語系列字典之詞條檢索中，係在輸入文字後 之詞條一覽顯示狀態下，藉由操作上述進一步檢索鍵1 6F， 可執行拼字檢查功能。如第2圖所示，運用「GE * NIUS英 曰辭典」執行詞條檢索時，在詞條檢索輸入區域中輸入「for a」之文字時，以其輸入之字串檢索字典資料記憶體12b， 而一覽顯示詞條。在該詞條之檢索中，在沒有與輸入之字 串相符之詞條的情形，可能是輸入之字串的拼字錯誤。此 時’操作上述進一步檢索鍵16F。於是轉移爲拼字檢查檢 索，來實施拼字檢查，並顯示拼字檢查之候補詞條一覽表。 而後，自其拼字檢查之候補詞條一覽表中，藉由游標鍵1 6D 之上下鍵操作，來選擇希望之詞條，若操作確定鍵16E時， 則全畫面顯示與其選擇指定之詞條對應的譯文。 200805088 此外，於詞條檢索（英語系列/日語系列均同）中，在 譯文顯示狀態，藉由操作上述進一步檢索鍵1 6F，而顯示 英語/日語之數個字典檢索輸入之子視窗，可在希望之輸 入區域中輸入檢索文字，執行數個字典檢索功能（當然是 回到原來的畫面）。如第3圖所示，藉由「l〇N*MAN現代 美國英語辭典」而檢索詞條「account」，有時在顯示其 「accourit」之說明資訊的狀態下會希望瞭解「description」 之譯文。此種情況下，操作上述進一步檢索鍵1 6F。於是， φ 係將顯示中之畫面保留於上部，而在畫面下部顯示用於檢 索希望顯示之詞條的子視窗。而後，在其子視窗之希望的 輸入區域，此時係在「英語檢索」之輸入區域中輸入 「description」，而操作確定鍵 1 6E蒔，係將.其新輸入之 「description」作爲檢索詞來檢索數個字典，並顯示詞條一 覽表。其數個字典例句之檢索，係藉由操作游標鍵1 6D之 左右鍵，來切換一覽顯示之字典。而後，在選出希望之’字 典的狀態下，自其詞條一覽表中，藉由游標鍵1 6D之上下 φ 鍵操作，來選擇希望之詞條，並操作確定鍵16E時，即在 子視窗上全畫面顯示，亦即在畫面下部顯示與其選擇指定 之詞條對應的譯文。 way」 在例句檢索/文章檢索之檢索畫面/例句一覽顯示 中，藉由操作上述進一步檢索鍵16F，在目前之檢索詞中 追加單詞以限縮候補範圍，特定檢索候補之語順而可限縮 候補範圍。如第4圖所示，藉由「LON * MAN現代美國英 語辭典」，將「by &the&way」輸入例句檢索之輸入區域並操 作確定鍵16E時，可一覽顯示含有「by」、「the」與「 -10- 200805088 之3個單詞的例句。此時’由於無法指定這3個單詞之語 順，所以欲檢索含有「b y t h e w a y」之慣用語的例句時，會 連不必要的例句也被一覽顯示。因此，在此種情況下，操 作上述進一步檢索鍵1 6F之後，進一步顯示用於進行限縮 範圍/語順指定檢索的檢索畫面。而後，進一步在檢索畫 面上，特定語順而僅顯示依據所輸入之語順的候補，而若 .操作確定鍵1 6E時，僅一覽顯示其語順之例句。 再者，於數個字典例句檢索/文章檢索中亦同樣地，可 φ 限縮候補範圍。如第5圖所示，在數個字典例句檢索中， 於例句檢索之輸入區域輸入「by & the & way」，而操作確定鍵 16E時，可一覽顯示含有此等「by」、「the」與「〜^7」之3 個單詞的例句。該數個字典例句檢索係藉由操作游標鍵 16D之左右鍵，來切換一覽顯示之字典。而後，在選擇希 望之字典的狀態下，操作上述進一步檢索鍵1 6F。如此， 進一步顯示用於進行限縮範圍/語順指定檢索的檢索畫 面，以僅可顯示依據所輸入的語順之後補的方式來特定語 φ 順，並在操作確定鍵1 6E之後，僅一覽顯示其字典中之其 語順的例句。當然，藉由操作游標鍵1 6D之左右鍵而切換 一覽顯示之字典時，同樣地僅一覽顯示其切換之字典中屬 於其語順之例句。另外，第5圖係顯示在切換成「LON * MAN現代美國英語辭典」之狀態下操作上述進一步檢索鍵 16F之情況，而在選擇其他字典之狀態下而操作上述進一 步檢索鍵1 6F情況下，當然是顯示與第5圖不同之例句。 此外，漢字字典中，在顯示漢字與說明資訊之狀態下， 藉由操作上述進一步檢索鍵1 6F，可指定其漢字以執行數 -11- 200805088 個字典漢字檢索。如第6圖所示，藉由「漢字*」，而在部 分讀取輸入區域輸入「έ九f 〇 (三點水（部首））」及「办 (讀音爲“Ka” ）」’操作確定鍵16E時，一覽顯示屬於「三 點水部首」之漢字，且讀音自「办」開始之漢字。而後， 藉由游標鍵1 6D選擇希望之漢字，如選擇「河」，並操作確 定鍵1 6E時，·顯示關於其漢字之詳細資訊。此時，欲檢索 含有其漢字之慣用語情況下，操作上述進一步檢索鍵1 6F。 如此，一覽顯示其漢字作開頭（前方一致）之各字典的詞 φ 條。而後，自其一覽顯示之詞條中，藉由操作游標鍵16D 之上下鍵，選擇希望之詞條，並操作確定鍵1 6E時，則全 畫面顯示其選擇指定之字典中之詞條（如第6圖之例是「廣 辭* ( 一種日文字典）」中的「河豚」之說明資訊。當然， 此時亦可藉由操作游標鍵16D之左右鍵切換一覽顯示之字 典，來一覽顯示末尾含有上述漢字（後方一致）之各字典 的詞條，並自此處作選擇。 此外’在數個字典檢索或跳越後任何一個字典之詞條一 φ 覽顯示狀態下，可藉由操作上述進一步檢索鍵1 6F，以其 他數個字典檢索與指定之字典上游標指定之詞條相同的詞 條而縱向總括地一覽顯示。通常，當需要切換字典時會花 費時間’但是，藉此可橫跨數個字典而依序隨即預覽顯示。 如第7圖所示，在數個字典檢索中，於日文檢索之輸入區 域輸入「〕口 V匕、7 (Columbia)」，並操作確定鍵16E時， 則一覽顯示詞條。或是在「百科全書MA * DIA」中，指定 「7、、U 4 7 シ二•彐口 y 匕、7 (British Columbia)」作爲 檢索詞而執行檢索時，如第7圖左上方所示，顯示「/ u -12- 200805088 亍4 7シ1 · u 口 y匕7」之資訊，因此，操作功能鍵〗6C 之（Super )跳越鍵時顯示游標，藉由操作游標鍵16D之右 鍵，使游標移動至「η (讀音爲“ Ko(Co)”」」（第7圖左 上方之顯示例顯示該狀態），並操作確定鍵16E時，與上述 數個字典檢索中檢索「3 口 >匕7」時相同之詞條被一覽 顯示。此時，藉由操作游標鍵16D之左右鍵，可切換一覽 顯示之字典。此外，藉由操作游標鍵1 6D之上下鍵，可選 擇希望之詞條。而後，在任何一個字典中選出詞條之狀態 φ 下’操作上述進一步檢索鍵1 6F。如此，以其他數個字典 檢索與其選擇指定之詞條（如「3 口 y匕7」）相同之詞條， 而縱向總括地一覽顯示。在該一覽顯示中，藉由操作游標 鍵1 6D之上下鍵，選擇希望之字典的詞條，並操作確定鍵 16E時’全晝面顯示其字典中該詞條（該圖之例係「百科 全書MA * DIA」中的「υ 口 y匕、7」）之資訊。 於上述攜帶式機器（電子字典）1〇中，爲了實現以上那 樣的功能’以下茲以記憶於記憶體1 2中之字典控制程式 _ 1 2 a爲例進f了說明。 第8圖係顯示用於說明字典控制程式1 2a之英語系列字 典檢索處理的流程圖。 亦即’藉由輸入部16之字典選擇鍵16B之操作，而指 定檢索英語系列字典時，在顯示部丨7上顯示第2圖及第4 圖所示之檢索文字的輸入畫面（步驟S11)。 而後’若是藉由使用者操作輸入部16之游標鍵16D以 選擇詞條檢索時（步驟S 12)，藉由使用者操作輸入部16 之文字輸入鍵16A，.而在上述輸入畫面之詞條檢索的輸入 -13- 200805088 區域輸入檢索文字作爲檢索詞，並將其輸入之字串記憶於 5己隐體12之檢索詞資料記憶體12c中（步驟S13)。而後， 以其檢索文字在記憶體1 2之字典資料記憶體1 2b中進行指 疋字典之檢索’而在顯示部17上顯示被檢索出之詞條一覽 (步驟S13)。另外，如第2圖所示，該使用者輸入之文字 與相應之檢索以及其結果的詞條一覽顯示，係每輸入1個 文字就會被進行者，此處爲了簡化而省略其說明。 而後，判斷使用者是否操作輸入部16之上述進一步檢 春索鍵16F (步驟S15)。此時，在上述進一步檢索鍵16F既 被操作時，轉移至後述之步驟S24。 反之，在上述進一步檢索鍵16F未被操作時，判斷是否 操作了輸入部16之游標鍵16D又進一步操作了確定鍵16E (步驟S 1 6 )。此時在該操作以外之操作被進行時，會轉移 至因應其操作之處理（其他處理），不過，由於並非本發明 之特徵部分，因此省略其說明（以下同樣地，針對非關本 發明特徵部分之部分予以省略說明）。 I 另外，在操作游標鍵16D，並進一步操作確定鍵16E時， 由於係表示使用者已自詞條之一覽表中選擇希望之詞條， 因此，在顯示部17上全畫面顯示其選出之詞條的說明資訊 (步驟S 1 7 )。而後，再度判斷使用者是否操作輸入部1 6 之上述進一步檢索鍵16F (步驟S18)。此時，在上述進一 步檢索鍵1 6 F被操作的情況，會轉移至後述之步驟S 1 1 2。 反之，在上述進一步檢索鍵161?未被操作時’判斷輸入 部16之文字輸入鍵16A是否被操作（步驟S19)。此時， 操作文字輸入鍵16A時，回到上述步驟S 13。此外，在文 •14- 200805088 字輸入鍵16A被操作時，進一步判斷輸入部16之 16C中的（Super)跳越鍵是否操作（步驟S12)。此時 跳越鍵被操作之情況係時轉移至後述之步驟S 1 08， 在跳越鍵未被操作時，轉移至其他處理。 此外，在上述步驟S11顯示之檢索文字之輸入畫 藉由使用者操作輸入部1 6之游標鍵1 6D，而選擇拼 時（步驟S21 )，藉由使用者操作輸入部16之文字 16A，而在上述輸入畫面之拼字檢查的輸入區域中輸 φ 文字作爲檢索詞，並將其輸入之字串記憶於記憶體 索詞資料記憶體12c中（步驟S22 )。而後，判斷是 作確定鍵16E (步驟S23 )，在該鍵未被操作時，轉 他處理。反之，在確定鍵1 6E既操作時，針對記憶 檢索詞資料記憶體1 2c之檢索文字，使用記憶體1 2 資料記憶體1 2b中的指定字典實施拼字檢查，並在 1 7上一覽顯示所檢索出之拼字檢查候補的詞條（步馬 另外，在因應上述步驟15中的上述進一步檢索 φ 操作之判斷而實施該步驟S24時，由於爲了檢索上 而輸入之檢索文字已經記憶於記憶體1 2之檢索詞 憶體12c中，因此，以其檢索文字進行拼字檢查。 可因應第2圖所示上述進一步檢索鍵16F之操作而 字檢查。 如此，在一覽顯示拼字檢查之候補詞條後，判斷 操作了輸入部16之游標鍵16D之後又進一步操作了 16E (步驟S25)。此時，其操作以外之操作不被進 轉移至其他處理。 功能鍵 ，在其 此外， 面上， 字檢查 輸入鍵 入檢索 12之檢 否既操 移至其 於上述 之字典 顯示部 聚 S24)〇 鍵16F 述詞條 資料記 藉此， 實施拼 是否在

進一步判斷是否操作功能鍵16C中之（Super)跳越鍵（步驟 S 28)。此時，是操作其跳越鍵時，轉移至後述之步驟S108, φ 此外，在跳越鍵未被操作時，是轉移至其他處理。 此外，在上述步驟S11顯示之檢索文字的輸入畫面上， 藉由使用者操作輸入部1 6之游標鍵1 6D而選擇例句檢索時 (步驟S29 )，係藉由使用者操作文字輸入鍵16A，而在上 述輸入畫面之例句檢索的輸入區域中輸入檢索文字作爲檢 索詞’並將其輸入之字串記憶於記憶體1 2之檢索詞資料記 憶體12c中（步驟S30)。而後，判斷是否操作確定鍵16E (步驟S3 1 )，在該鍵未被操作時，轉移至其他處理。反之， φ 操作確定鍵1 6E時，針對記憶於上述檢索詞資料記憶體1 2c 之檢索文字，使用記憶體1 2之字典資料記憶體1 2b中指定 的字典實施例句檢索，並在顯示部17上一覽顯示檢索之例 句（步驟S32)。 而後，判斷使用者是否操作進一步檢索鍵1 6F (步驟. S 3 3 )。此時，在上述進一步檢索鍵1 6F未被操作時，判斷 是否操作游標鍵16D之後又進一步操作確定鍵16E (步驟 S34 )。此時其操作以外之操作不被進行時，轉移至其他處 理。 -16- 200805088 另外，在操作了游標鍵16D後又進一步操作確定鍵16E 之情況，由於係表示使用者已自例句之一覽表中選擇希望 之例句，所以在顯示部1 7上全畫面顯示其選擇之全體例句 (有時亦有其譯文）（步驟S35)。而後，判斷使用者是否 操作文字輸入鍵16A (步驟S36)。此時是操作文字輸入鍵 16A時，回到上述步驟S30。反之，在文字輸入鍵16A未被 操作時，進一步判斷是否操作功能鍵16C中之（Super)跳越 鍵（步驟S 37 )。此時，是操作該跳越鍵時，轉移至後述之 步驟S1 08，此外，在跳越鍵未被操作時，轉移至其他之處 理。 此外，在上述步驟S33中判斷爲是在檢索出之例句的一 覽顯示中操作上述進一步檢索鍵16F時，顯示例句進一步 檢索畫面（步騾S38)。如第4圖所示，該例句之進一步檢 索畫面係在記憶於記憶體1 2之檢索詞資料記憶體1 2c的既 輸入完成之檢索文字的最後，輸入「&」並顯示，並且進 行用於檢索指定語順之顯示者。而後，受理使用者追加輸 入檢索文字及/或檢索指定語順（步驟S39 )，而回到上述 步驟S32。藉此，針對其追加輸入之檢索文字或指定之語 順的檢索文字執行新例句檢索，並更新例句之一覽顯示。 另外，在上述步驟S11顯示之檢索文字之輸入畫面上， 藉使用者指示詞條檢索、拼字檢查及例句檢索以外的處理 時，係執行因應其之其他處理。 第9圖係顯示用於說明字典控制程式1 2a中之日語系列 字典檢索處理的流程圖。 亦即，藉由操作輸入部1 6之字典選擇鍵166，而指定檢 -17-

The CPU 1 1 is connected to the memory unit 2, the memory medium reading unit 14, the communication unit 15, and the input unit 16, and is connected to a display unit 17 made of an LCD or the like. The memory 12 has a system program for managing the overall operation of the portable device (electronic dictionary) 10, and a communication program for communicating data with each web server on the Internet via the communication unit 15. In addition, a dictionary control program 12a is also stored, which is used to download the necessary dictionary data from the dictionary server and the memory card (memory medium) for dictionary management, and to search according to the dictionary data memory (1 2 b ). Display various explanatory information such as translations and explanation contents of the terms input by the search term, or use the example sentences for searching and displaying the search terms. Further, the memory 1 2 is provided with a dictionary data memory 1 2b, a search s secretary data s2 memory 1 2 c, and a work area 1 2 d. In the dictionary data memory 1 2b, a number of dictionary databases, such as the English series, are stored in advance or by downloading several Japanese dictionaries, Chinese-Japanese dictionaries, English-Japanese dictionaries, English-English dictionaries, Japanese-English dictionaries, and the like. It is a memory of "LON* MAN Modern American English Dictionary" and "GE* NIUS English-Japanese Dictionary". In the search term data memory 1 2c, a word or the like input by the user is used as a search term, and the language and sentence of the search object are searched by the dictionary data memory 1 2b. In the work area 12d, various pieces of data input and output in the CPU 1 are stored in accordance with various device control programs such as the above-described dictionary control program 12a, and for example, a plurality of example sentences searched with the example sentence search processing are memorized. 200805088 As shown in Fig. 1(B), the keyboard panel of the input unit 16 is provided with: a dictionary for selecting a dictionary for arbitrarily inputting hiragana, katakana, kanji, and alphanumeric characters, and a dictionary for specifying a dictionary to be used for retrieval. The key i6B, the function key 1 6C for selecting various functions, the cursor key 16 6D for moving the cursor, and the designated dictionary stored in the dictionary data memory 1 2b are used for searching for the entry corresponding to the input search term.

The newly entered "description" is used as a search term to retrieve several dictionaries and display a list of terms. The retrieval of several dictionary examples is performed by operating the left and right keys of the cursor key 16 6D to switch the dictionary of the list display. Then, in the state in which the desired 'dictionary' is selected, from the list of terms, the φ key operation is performed by the cursor key 16 6D to select the desired entry, and when the determination key 16E is operated, that is, on the sub-window The full screen display, that is, the translation corresponding to the selected item is displayed in the lower part of the screen. In the search screen/example list display of the example sentence search/article search, by operating the further search key 16F, a word is added to the current search term to limit the candidate range, and the specific search candidate can be limited to the candidate. range. As shown in Fig. 4, when "by &the&way" is input to the input area of the example sentence search and the OK key 16E is operated by the "LON * MAN Modern American English Dictionary", the list can be displayed as "by" or " "The" and " -10- 200805088 examples of three words. At this time, since it is impossible to specify the fluency of these three words, if you want to search for an example sentence containing the idiom "bytheway", even unnecessary sentence sentences will be A list is displayed. Therefore, in this case, after the further search key 16F is operated, a search screen for performing the narrowing range/speech specified search is further displayed. Then, on the search screen, the specific language is only displayed, and only the candidates according to the input language are displayed. When the operation key 1 6E is operated, only the sentence examples of the fluent are displayed in a list. Furthermore, in a plurality of dictionary example search/article search, the candidate range can be limited by φ. As shown in Fig. 5, in a plurality of dictionary example sentences, "by & the & way" is input in the input field of the example sentence search, and when the determination key 16E is operated, the "by" and "" are displayed in a list. Example sentences for the three words "the" and "~^7". The plurality of dictionary example sentences are operated by switching the left and right keys of the cursor key 16D to switch the dictionary of the list display. Then, in the state where the dictionary of hope is selected, the above further search key 16F is operated. In this way, the search screen for performing the narrowing range/speech specified search is further displayed so that only the specific language φ is displayed according to the manner in which the input of the input is followed, and after the operation of the determination key 16E, only the list is displayed. An example sentence in the dictionary. Of course, when the dictionary of the list display is switched by operating the left and right keys of the cursor key 16 6D, only the example sentences belonging to the dictionary in the switched dictionary are displayed in the same manner. In addition, the fifth figure shows the case where the above-described further search key 16F is operated in the state of switching to the "LON * MAN Modern American English Dictionary", and in the case where the above-described further search key 16 6F is operated while the other dictionary is selected, Of course, an example sentence different from Fig. 5 is displayed. Further, in the Chinese character dictionary, by displaying the above-described further search key 16F in the state of displaying the Chinese character and the explanation information, the Chinese character can be designated to execute the number of -11-200805088 dictionary Chinese character searches. As shown in Figure 6, by using "Chinese characters*", enter "έ九f〇(三点水(部首))" and "办(音音"Ka")" in the partial reading input area. When the key 16E is determined, the Chinese characters belonging to the "three-point water head" are displayed in a list, and the Chinese characters starting from "doing" are displayed. Then, the desired Chinese character is selected by the cursor key 16 6D, for example, "河" is selected, and when the key 16E is determined, the detailed information about the Chinese character is displayed. At this time, in the case where the idiom containing the Chinese character is to be searched, the further search key 16F is operated. In this way, the word φ of each dictionary whose Chinese character is the beginning (the front is consistent) is displayed in a list. Then, from the list displayed in the list, by operating the cursor key 16D up and down keys, selecting the desired entry, and operating the determination key 16E, the full screen displays the entry in the dictionary selected by the selection (eg The example in Fig. 6 is the description of the "puffer fish" in "Guangxu* (a Japanese dictionary)". Of course, at this time, the dictionary of the list display can be switched by operating the left and right keys of the cursor key 16D to display the end of the list. The entries of the dictionaries containing the above-mentioned Chinese characters (the same in the rear) are selected from here. In addition, in the case of any dictionary search or skipping, the dictionary can be displayed in the state of any dictionary. The search key 1 6F searches for the same term in the other plurality of dictionaries as the term specified by the upstream tag of the specified dictionary, and displays it vertically and collectively. Usually, it takes time to switch the dictionary when it is needed. Several dictionaries are sequentially displayed in sequence. As shown in Fig. 7, in several dictionary searches, "〕 port V匕, 7 (Columbia)" is input in the input area of the Japanese search, and the OK key 16 is operated. In the case of E, the list is displayed in the list. Or in the "Encyclopedia MA * DIA", when "7, U 4 7 シ 彐 y y 7 7 7 (British Columbia)" is specified as a search term, the search is performed. As shown in the upper left of Figure 7, the message "/ u -12- 200805088 亍4 7シ1 · u port y匕7" is displayed. Therefore, the cursor is displayed when the function key 6C (Super) skip button is operated. By operating the right key of the cursor key 16D, the cursor is moved to "η (the sound is "Ko(Co)""" (the display example in the upper left of Fig. 7 shows the state), and when the OK key 16E is operated, When the "3 ports> 匕7" is searched for in several dictionary searches, the same items are displayed in a list. At this time, by operating the left and right keys of the cursor key 16D, the dictionary of the list display can be switched. Further, by operating the cursor key 1 6D up and down keys, you can select the desired term. Then, select the status of the entry in any dictionary, φ under 'Operate the above further search key 1 6F. Thus, retrieve the selected entry with several other dictionaries (such as "3 mouth y匕7") the same entry, and the vertical summary In the list display, by operating the cursor key 16 6D up and down keys, the word of the desired dictionary is selected, and when the determination key 16E is operated, the word in the dictionary is displayed in full view (example of the figure) Information on the "Encyclopedia y匕, 7" in the "Encyclopedia MA * DIA". In the portable device (electronic dictionary), in order to achieve the above functions, the memory is stored in memory 1 The dictionary control program _ 1 2 a in 2 is an example. The eighth diagram shows a flow chart for explaining the English dictionary search processing of the dictionary control program 1 2a. That is, the dictionary by the input unit 16 When the operation of the key 16B is selected and the search for the English series dictionary is designated, the input screen of the search characters shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 is displayed on the display unit 7 (step S11). Then, if the user operates the cursor key 16D of the input unit 16 to select the term search (step S12), the user operates the character input key 16A of the input unit 16. On the input screen, the input of the entry search -13-200805088 enters the search character as a search term, and stores the input character string in the search term data memory 12c of the hidden body 12 (step S13). Then, the search word is searched for in the dictionary data memory 1 2b of the memory 12, and the searched item list is displayed on the display unit 17 (step S13). Further, as shown in Fig. 2, the list of words input by the user and the corresponding search and the list of the results are displayed, and each character is input, and the description is omitted here for simplification. Then, it is judged whether or not the user operates the above-described further detection key 16F of the input unit 16 (step S15). At this time, when the further search key 16F is operated, the process proceeds to step S24, which will be described later. On the other hand, when the further search key 16F is not operated, it is judged whether or not the cursor key 16D of the input unit 16 is operated and the determination key 16E is further operated (step S16). At this time, when the operation other than the operation is performed, the processing is performed in accordance with the operation (other processing). However, since it is not a characteristic portion of the present invention, the description thereof is omitted (hereinafter, the characteristics of the non-related invention are similarly Parts are omitted from the description). Further, when the cursor key 16D is operated and the determination key 16E is further operated, since the user indicates that the user has selected the desired item from the list of the entry, the selected item is displayed on the display unit 17 in full screen. Description information (step S 1 7). Then, it is judged again whether the user operates the further search key 16F of the input unit 16 (step S18). At this time, in the case where the above-described further search key 16 6 F is operated, the process proceeds to step S 1 1 2 which will be described later. On the other hand, when the further search key 161 is not operated, it is judged whether or not the character input key 16A of the input unit 16 is operated (step S19). At this time, when the character input key 16A is operated, the process returns to the above-described step S13. Further, when the word input key 16A is operated, it is further judged whether or not the (Super) skip key in the 16C of the input unit 16 is operated (step S12). At this time, when the skip key is operated, the process shifts to step S1 08, which will be described later, and when the skip key is not operated, the process shifts to another process. Further, the input picture of the search character displayed in the above step S11 is selected by the user by operating the cursor key 16D of the input unit 16 (step S21), and the user operates the character 16A of the input unit 16 by The φ character is input as a search term in the input area of the spell check of the input screen, and the input character string is stored in the memory word data storage 12c (step S22). Then, it is judged that the determination key 16E is made (step S23), and when the key is not operated, it is processed. On the other hand, when the determination key 16E is operated, the search for the search term data memory 1 2c is performed, and the spell check is performed using the designated dictionary in the memory 1 2 data memory 1 2b, and displayed in a list on the 17 In the case of performing the step S24 in response to the determination of the further search φ operation in the above step 15, the search word input for the search is already memorized in the memory. Since the search term of the object 12 is in the memory 12c, the spell check is performed by the search character. The word check can be performed in accordance with the operation of the further search key 16F shown in Fig. 2. Thus, the candidate for the spell check is displayed in the list. After the entry, it is judged that the cursor key 16D of the input unit 16 is operated and then 16E is further operated (step S25). At this time, operations other than the operation are not transferred to other processing. The function key, in addition, on the surface , word check input type search 12 check whether it is moved to its dictionary display section above S24) 〇 key 16F statement data record, to determine whether the implementation is determined Key: When line, -15- 200805088 In addition, after the cursor key 16D is operated, the determination key 16E is further operated, because the user has selected the desired item from the list of candidate words of the spell check, so the display unit is displayed. The description information of the selected item is displayed on the full screen 1 (step S26). Then, it is judged whether or not the user operates the character input key 16A (step S27). At this time, when the character input key 16A is operated, the process returns to the above step S22. On the other hand, when the character input key 16A is not operated, it is further determined whether or not the (Super) skip key in the function key 16C is operated (step S28). At this time, when the skip key is operated, the process proceeds to step S108, φ, which will be described later. Further, when the skip key is not operated, the process shifts to another process. Further, in the input screen of the search character displayed in the above step S11, when the user operates the cursor key 16D of the input unit 16 to select the example sentence search (step S29), the user operates the character input key 16A. On the input field of the example sentence search of the input screen, the search character is input as the search term 'and the input character string is stored in the search term data memory 12c of the memory 12 (step S30). Then, it is judged whether or not the determination key 16E is operated (step S3 1 ), and when the key is not operated, the process shifts to another process. On the other hand, when the φ operation determination key 16E is used, the example sentence search is performed using the dictionary specified in the dictionary data memory 1 2b of the memory 1 2 for the search character stored in the search term data memory 1 2c, and is displayed on the display unit 17 The top sentence of the search is displayed in the upper list (step S32). Then, determine whether the user operates the further search key 1 6F (step. S 3 3 ). At this time, when the further search key 16 6F is not operated, it is judged whether or not the cursor key 16D is operated and then the determination key 16E is further operated (step S34). When the operation other than the operation is not performed at this time, the process proceeds to another process. -16- 200805088 In addition, when the cursor key 16D is operated and the determination key 16E is further operated, since the user has selected the desired example sentence from the list of example sentences, the selection is displayed on the full screen on the display unit 17. All of the example sentences (and sometimes their translations) (step S35). Then, it is judged whether or not the user operates the character input key 16A (step S36). At this time, when the character input key 16A is operated, the process returns to the above-described step S30. On the other hand, when the character input key 16A is not operated, it is further determined whether or not the (Super) skip key in the function key 16C is operated (step S37). At this time, when the skip key is operated, the process proceeds to step S1 08, which will be described later, and when the skip key is not operated, the process shifts to another place. Further, when it is determined in the above step S33 that the further search key 16F is operated in the list display of the retrieved example sentence, the example sentence further search screen is displayed (step S38). As shown in Fig. 4, the further search screen of the example sentence is displayed at the end of the search text that has been input in the search word data memory 1 2c of the memory 12, and is displayed and displayed. Search for the display of the specified language. Then, the receiving user additionally inputs the search text and/or searches for the specified language (step S39), and returns to step S32 described above. In this way, a new example sentence search is executed for the search text additionally input or the specified search text, and the list of example sentences is updated. Further, when the user instructs processing other than the entry search, the spell check, and the example sentence search on the input screen of the search character displayed in the above step S11, other processing in response to the processing is performed. Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing the Japanese dictionary search processing in the dictionary control program 1 2a. In other words, when the dictionary selection key 166 of the input unit 16 is operated to designate the dictionary -17-200805088, the input screen for the search character is displayed on the display unit 17 (step S40). Then, when the user searches the cursor key 16 6D to select the term search (step S41), the user operates the character input key 16A to input the search text in the input area of the entry search. The word is searched and the input character string is memorized in the search term data memory 12c of the memory 12 (step S42). Then, the search of the designated dictionary in the dictionary data memory 1 2b of the memory 12 is performed using the search character, and the retrieved entry is displayed on the display unit 1 7 φ (step S43). Then, it is judged whether the user has operated the cursor key 16D and then further operates the determination key 16E (step S44). At this time, when an operation other than the operation is performed, the process shifts to another process. Further, after the cursor key 16D is operated, the determination key 16E is further operated. Since the user indicates that the user has selected the desired item from the list of the entry, the selected part is displayed on the display unit 17 in full screen. Description information of the bar (step S45). Then, it is judged whether or not the user operates the above-described further φ search key 16F (step S46). At this time, when the further search key 16F is operated, the process proceeds to step S11 2 which will be described later. On the other hand, when the further search key 16 6F is not operated, it is judged whether or not the character input key 16A is operated (step S47). At this time, when the character input key 16A is operated, the process returns to the above-described step S42. Further, when the character input key 16A is not operated, it is further determined whether or not the (Super) skip key in the function key 16C is operated (step S48). At this time, when the skip key is operated, the process proceeds to step S108, which will be described later, and when the skip key is not operated, the process shifts to another process. -18- 200805088 Further, in the above-described step S41, when it is determined that the item search is not selected on the input screen of the search character, the process proceeds to another process. Fig. 10 shows a flow chart for explaining the Japanese dictionary search processing in the dictionary control program 1 2 a. In other words, when the search of the Chinese dictionary is designated by operating the dictionary selection key 16B of the input unit 16, as shown in Fig. 6, the search data is displayed on the display unit 17 (partial reading, radical number, total stroke). Input screen of number, sound reading, and training) (step S49). Then, by the user operating the character input key 16A, the search data is input as a search term on the input screen, and the search data input thereto is stored in the search term data memory 12c of the memory 12 (step S50). Then, the search data is searched using the dictionary specified in the dictionary data memory 1 2b of the memory 12, and the searched Chinese characters are displayed in a list on the display unit 17 (step S51). Then, it is judged whether the user has operated the cursor key 16D and then further operates the determination key 16E (step S52). At this time, when an operation other than the operation is performed, the process shifts to another process. Further, after the cursor key 16D is operated, the determination key 16E is further operated. Since the user has selected the desired Chinese character from the searched Chinese character list, the display unit 17 displays the selected image on the full screen. Description information of Chinese characters (step S53). Then, it is judged whether or not the user operates the further search key 16F (step S54). At this time, when the above-described further search key 16F is not operated, it is judged whether or not the character input key 16A is operated (step S55). At this time, in the case where the character input key 16A is operated, the process returns to the above step S50. Further, when the character input key 16A is not operated, further -19-200805088 determines whether to operate the (Super) skip key in the function key 16C (when the step is to operate the skip key at this time, the process proceeds to step S108, which will be described later, When the skip key is not operated, the process shifts to another process. Further, in the above step S54, it is determined that the selected Chinese character 16F is stored in the memory 12 when the selected Chinese character is input as a user. After the work area I2d (step S57), step S104 will be described later. Fig. 1 is a flowchart for explaining the sentence search process in the dictionary control program 1 2 a. That is, by operating the dictionary of the input unit 16 When the index key 16B is searched and the example sentences of the dictionary are searched, as shown in FIG. 5, the input screen of the example sentence/article of the display unit 17 and the input area selected by the user operating the cursor key are operated by the user. 16A is used as the search term 'and the input character string is memorized in the memory f search word data memory 1 2c (step S 5 8 ). Then, it is judged as the determination key 16E (step S59), at which the key is not Being fucked On the other hand, when the operation determination key 16E is operated, the first dictionary is specified (the step is performed for the dictionary specified in the dictionary data memory 12b of the search character memory 12 stored in the search term data memory 1 2c). As shown in Fig. 5, the example sentence is displayed on the display unit 17 (step S61). In addition, the first dictionary is displayed on the left dictionary (this example is "GE* NIUS English-Japanese Dictionary". (G Yingri)), you can also pre-record the dictionary selected by the previous user in the note, and designate it as the first dictionary. S56). In addition, step retrieval, and temporarily transfer to several cases If 16D is displayed on the number and the input check 12 is moved to its S60), the end column of the example sentence is searched, but the body 12 -20-200805088 and then the user is asked whether to operate the left and right keys of the cursor key 1 6D. (Step S62) 'When the cursor key 16D is operated, the dictionary whose cursor is specified is changed to the designated dictionary (step S63), and the process returns to the above-described step S61. Thereby, the example sentence search is performed by the dictionary after the change. Further, in the above step S62, when it is judged that the cursor key 16D is not operated, it is judged next whether or not the user operates the further search key 16F (step S64). At this time, when the further search key 16F is not operated, it is judged whether or not the cursor key 16D has been operated, and then the determination key 16E is further operated (step φ S65). At this time, when the operation other than the operation is performed, the process shifts to other processing. Further, when the cursor key 16D is operated and the determination key 16E is further operated, since the user has selected the desired example sentence from the example sentence list, the selected example sentence is displayed on the entire screen on the display unit 17 (sometimes also There is a translation thereof) (step S66). Then, it is judged whether or not the user operates the character input key 16A (step S67). When the character input key 16A is operated at this time, the process returns to the above step S58. On the other hand, when the character input key 16A is not operated, 0 further judges whether or not the (Super) skip key in the operation/function key 16C is operated (step S68). At this time, when the skip key is operated, the process proceeds to step 3108, which will be described later, and when the skip key is not operated, the process shifts to another process. Further, in the above-described step S64, when it is determined that the further search key 16F is operated during the list search of the re-searched, the example sentence further search screen is displayed (step S69). As shown in Fig. 5, the further search screen of the example sentence is input to "&" at the end of the search text stored in the search result data memory 1 2c of the memory 12, and is displayed and used. Search for the display of the specified language. Then, the receiving user additionally inputs the search text and/or searches for the specified language (step S7), and returns to step S60 described above. In this way, a new example sentence search is executed for the search text additionally input or the specified search text, and the list of example sentences is updated. Alternatively, the above step S70 may be returned to the above step S61. Figure 5 shows an example of this situation (an example of changing the designated dictionary to "LON*MAN Modern American English Dictionary" (LAAD)). Fig. 12 is a flow chart showing a plurality of ABC search processes in the dictionary control program 12a. In other words, when a plurality of dictionary searches are designated by operating the dictionary selection key 16B of the input unit 16, an input screen for retrieving characters is displayed on the display unit 17 (step S71) 'selected by the user operating the cursor key 16D The input area (in this case, the input area of the Chinese language search), the user inputs the search text as a search word by operating the character input key 16A, and memorizes the input character string in the search word data memory of the memory 12.丨 2c (step 572). Then, the first dictionary is specified from a plurality of English series dictionaries (step 573), and the English series specified in the dictionary data memory 丨 2b of the syllabus 1 2 is used for the search text memorized in the search term data memory i2c. The dictionary 'implements the term search, and displays the retrieved words in a list on the display unit 17 (step S74). In addition, at this time, the first dictionary is a dictionary displayed in the left end column. However, the dictionary selected by the previous user may be pre-stored in the memory 12 as the first dictionary. Then, it is determined whether the user operates the left and right keys of the cursor key 丨6D (step S75), and when the cursor key 16D is operated, the designated dictionary is changed in the English series dictionary specified by the cursor (step S76), and the process returns to the above step S74. . By this, it is implemented by the changed English dictionary. -22- 200805088 Further, in the above step S75, when it is judged that the cursor key 16D is not operated, and then, it is judged whether or not the user operates the further search key 16F (step S77). At this time, when the above-described further search key 16F is operated, the same spell check processing as described above is carried out. On the other hand, when the further search key 16F is not operated, it is judged whether or not the cursor key 16D has been operated, and then the determination key 16E is further operated (step S78). At this time, when an operation other than the operation is performed, the process proceeds to another process. In addition, 'the case where the determination key 16E is further operated after the cursor key 16D is operated' indicates that the user has selected the desired item from the entry list, so that the selected part is displayed on the full screen on the display unit 17. Description information of the bar (step S79). Then, it is judged whether or not the user operates the above-described further search key 16F (step S80). At this time, when the further search key 16F is operated, the process proceeds to step S112, which will be described later. Further, when the further search key 16F is not operated, it is further determined whether or not the character input key 16A is operated (step S81). At this time, when the character input key 1 6 A is operated, the process returns to the above step S 71. On the other hand, when the character input key 16A is not operated, it is further determined whether or not the (Super) skip key in the function key 16C is operated (step S82). At this time, when the skip key is operated, the process proceeds to step S108, which will be described later, and when the skip key is not operated, the process shifts to another process. Fig. 13 is a flow chart showing the processing of several pseudonym retrievals in the dictionary control program 12& In other words, when a plurality of dictionary searches are designated by operating the dictionary selection key 16B of the input unit 16, the input screen -23-200805088 of the search character is displayed on the display unit 17 (step S83), and the user operates the cursor key. 16D, for the selected input area (in this case, the input area for Japanese search), the user inputs the search text as a search word by operating the character input key 16A, and stores the input string in the search term of the memory 12 The data memory 12c is included (step S84). Then, the first dictionary is designated from the plurality of Japanese series dictionaries (step S85)', and the Japanese character specified in the dictionary data memory 1 2b of the memory 1 2 is used for the search text stored in the search term data memory i2c. The dictionary 'implements the term search, and displays the retrieved word φ on the display unit 17 (step S86). In addition, at this time, the first dictionary is a dictionary displayed on the left end of the block. However, the dictionary selected by the previous user may be pre-stored in the memory 12 as the first dictionary. Then, 'determine whether the user operates the left and right keys of the cursor key 16D (step S87)', when the cursor key 16D is operated, the designated dictionary is changed in the Japanese series dictionary specified by the cursor (step S88), and the above is returned. Step S86. In this way, the example sentence search is performed using the Japanese dictionary that has been changed. Further, in the above step S87, it is judged that the left and right keys of the cursor key 16D are not operated, and secondly, it is judged whether the user operates the above-described further search key 16F after operating the cursor key 16D upper key (step S8). 9 ). At this time, when the cursor key 16D is operated and the further search key 16F is not operated, it is judged whether or not the determination key 16E is further operated after the cursor key 16D is pressed up (step S90). At this time, when an operation other than the operation is performed, the process proceeds to another process. Further, in the case where the cursor key 16D is operated and the determination key 16E is further operated, since the user indicates that the user has selected the desired item from the entry list, the selected part is displayed on the full screen on the display unit 17. Description of the article • 24-200805088 Information (step S91). Then, it is judged whether or not the user operates the above-described further search key 16F (step S92). At this time, when the further search key 16F is operated, the process proceeds to step S1 12 which will be described later. Further, when the further search key 16F is not operated, it is further determined whether or not the character input key 16A is operated (step S93). At this time, when the character input key 16A is operated, the process returns to the above-described step S83. On the other hand, when the character input key 16A is not operated, it is further determined whether or not the (S u p e r) skip key in the function key 1 6C is operated (step S 9 4 ). At this time, when the skip key is operated, the process proceeds to step S108, which will be described later, and when the skip key is not operated, the process shifts to another process. Further, in the above-described step S89, it is determined that the cursor key 16D is pressed up and down in the searched list list, and the further search key 16F is operated, since the user has indicated that the user has entered the entry. In the list, the vocabulary of the selected item is selected, and the selected item is further searched. Therefore, the Japanese language dictionary of the same name as the selected item is displayed in a vertical and horizontal manner on the display unit 17 (step S95). . Then, it is judged whether or not the upper key of the cursor key 16D is operated, and then the determination key 16E is further operated (step S96). At this time, when an operation other than the operation is performed, the process shifts to another process. Further, in the case where the cursor key 16D is operated and the determination key 16E is further operated, the explanation information of the selected item is displayed on the full screen on the display unit 17 (step S97). Then, it is judged whether or not the user operates the character input key 16A (step S9 8). At this time, when the character input key 1 6 A is operated, the process returns to the above-described step S83. On the other hand, when the character input key 16A is not operated, it is further judged whether or not the (Super) skip key in the function key 16C is operated (step -25 - 200805088 S 99 ). At this time, when the skip key is operated, the process proceeds to step S1 0 8 ', which will be described later. Further, when the skip key is not operated, the process shifts to another process. Fig. 14 is a flow chart for explaining a plurality of dictionary Chinese character retrieval processing in the dictionary control program 12a. In other words, when a plurality of Chinese character searches are designated by operating the dictionary selection key 16B of the input unit 16, the search data is displayed on the display unit 17 (partial reading, number of radicals, total number of strokes, sound reading, training, The input screen of the search string is searched (step S100). Then, by the user operating the character input key 16A, the search data is input as a search term on the input screen, and the search data input thereto is stored in the search term data memory i2c of the memory 12 (step S101). Then, the search data is searched for using the dictionary specified in the dictionary data memory 12b of the memory 12, and the searched Chinese characters are displayed in a list on the display unit 17 (step S102). Then, it is judged whether the user has operated the cursor key 16D and then further operates the determination key 16E (step S103). At this time, when an operation other than the operation is performed, the process shifts to another process. Further, after the cursor key 16D is operated, the determination key 16E is further operated, and the plurality of dictionaries retrieve the selected Chinese character as the initial term (step S104). Further, in the processing of the step S104, in the above-mentioned Chinese-Japanese dictionary search processing, when the further search key 16F is operated in response to the operation, the coefficient dictionary search is temporarily started in the above-described step S57. Entry. Then, as shown in Fig. 6, a list of the selected Chinese characters or the temporarily recorded registered Chinese characters (the example of "the river" in Fig. 6) is displayed in a list (step S105). In addition. At this time, the reverse display shows the front -26-200805088. Then, it is judged whether or not the user operates the right button of the cursor key 16D (step S106). When the cursor key 16D is not operated, it transfers to another process. On the other hand, when the cursor key 16 6 D is operated, as shown in Fig. 6, the words searched for at the end of the selected Chinese character or the temporarily recorded registered Chinese character (the example of Fig. 6 is "river") are displayed. Bar (step sl7). In addition, at this time, the front consistent column is displayed in reverse. Then, return to the above step Si〇6. Fig. 15 is a view showing a skip performed when the above-described steps s 2 〇, s 2 8 , s 3 7 , s 4 8 , φ S56, S68, S82, s94, or S99 are determined to operate the skip key. Process flow chart. That is, the user skips the object text by first operating the cursor key 丨6D, and operates the determination key i 6E (step s 108). It is judged whether or not the designated text is an English letter (step S丨09). At this time, when the designated character is an English letter, the designated character is used as the user input character, and is temporarily stored in the work area 1 2 d of the memory 12 (step S110), and transferred to the above several ABC search processes. The above step φ S73. Thereby, the user input character is temporarily stored in the work area i2d, and the word search is performed in the first dictionary from several English series dictionaries. Further, in the above step S1 09, when it is determined that the designated character is not an English letter, the string of characters displayed after the specified character is used as the longest matching data, and temporarily stored in the work area 1 2d of the memory i 2 (step Sill), and shifts to the above-mentioned step S85 in the above several pseudonym retrieval processes. Thereby, the term is retrieved in the first dictionary from a plurality of Japanese series dictionaries by temporarily storing the data for the longest match in the work area 12d. As shown in Figure 7, when "3 (Co)" of "U4 7 シ 2 · 3 V 7 -27- 200805088 (British Columbia)" is designated as the skip target text, the first dictionary *" Search for terms and display the terms in a list. Fig. 16 is a flowchart for explaining the processing when it is determined that the above-described further search key 16F is operated in the above-described step S18, S46, S80 or S92. That is, first, an input screen for detecting a character is displayed on the lower half of the display screen of the display unit 17 (step S 1 1 2 ). As shown in Fig. 3, the search text input area of the English (several ABC) search and the Japanese (several pseudonym) search is displayed. Then, the user inputs the search character as a search term on the input screen by operating the character input keys 16A, φ, and temporarily stores the input search character in the work area 1 2d of the memory 12 and judges the search. Whether or not the character input is input into the search text input area of the English (several ABC) search (step S114). At this time, if it is input in the search character input area that has been searched for English (several ABC), the process proceeds to step S73. Thereby, the search words temporarily stored in the work area 1 2d are retrieved from the plurality of English series words in the first dictionary. Further, at this time, it is displayed by the above-described step φ S74. The list of retrieved words is displayed on the lower half of the display screen of the display unit 17 as shown in Fig. 3. Similarly, the description information of the selected item in the above-described step S7 9 is displayed on the entire screen of the display portion 17 to the entire lower half of the display screen. In addition, when it is determined that the search character input area of the English (several ABC) search is input, that is, when it is determined that the search character input area of the Japanese (several pseudonym) search is input, the process proceeds to the above-described step S85. Thereby, the search words temporarily stored in the work area 12d are searched for in the first dictionary from a plurality of Japanese dictionary lines. Further, at this time, the retrieved list of terms displayed in the above-mentioned -28-200805088 step S 8 6 is displayed in the lower half of the display screen displayed on the display unit 17. Similarly, the description information of the word selected in the above step S91 is displayed on the display unit 17 for full screen display, and the lower half of the screen is displayed. Further, in the above-described step S95, the words of the Japanese series dictionary which are the same as the selected words are displayed in a vertical and horizontal manner, and the full screen display of the explanation information of the selected words in the above step S97 is also similarly displayed. The lower half of the screen is displayed. Further, in the lower half of the display screen, in the state in which any of the above-described searches are performed and displayed, when the further search key 16F is operated again, the original search result display displayed in the upper half is retained, and The half section displays the input screen for the new search text. Alternatively, the search result displayed in the lower half of the display screen may be moved to the display of the upper half, and the input screen of the new search text may be displayed in the lower half.
